It’s Friday again. This week it seems like this one has come several days late so to celebrate here is possibly the cheesiest tune I’ve posted yet. This brings back memories of watching my mate’s Now Dance 89 video (or something like that) which was pure running man vibes from start to finish.
So I’m gonna make no bones about it; this tune is proper shite. However, the section at 1:55 with the Stingray theme over the Funky Drummer is so fucking serious that it hurts. Also, loving the shot of Stuart Pearce at World Cup 90 at the start straight off VHS. Retro
Aside from presenting the finest breakfast show known to manDVA AKA Scratcha is killing it at the moment with his production. A few tunes like Sci Fi & the one that sounds a bit like his previous Hyperdub release Natty with a vocal over the top of it are high on my wants list. Hopefully they’ll see a release soon.
Anyway, here’s his remix of Girl Unit’s IRL that recently came out on Night Slugs. Serious stuff
Classic piece of UK garage here. Listening to this reminds me that I need to dig out all my garage 12s from storage and give ‘em a spin again. Of course sampling from the film with the same name and KMA bringing a lovely deep bassline on this one. This tends to go for silly money on vinyl but I’m pretty sure there were represses of the old KMA tunes that you can pick up pretty easily for those who weren’t there first time around
Caution: if you’re not a fan of pretty cheesy vocal led UK Funky then this one might not be for you. I’ve heard this a lot of times on Marcus Nasty‘s show on Rinse, which is an instant download every week.
